The interview, conducted by Tim Dickinson, covered everything from the Democrats' odds of winning the House in 2018 to the possibility of impeaching President Donald Trump. But when the topic turned to Pelosi's future, the minority leader was not happy.

Dickinson: Have you ever been tempted to step away?

Pelosi: If Hillary had won and the Affordable Care Act was protected — I feel very proprietary about the Affordable Care Act. She'd be a woman in charge, the Affordable Care Act [would be] protected. I could have happily gone home. Nobody in California gets Potomac Fever, believe me. So it's not about wanting to be there. It's just a question of, “Who can fight this man who's in the White House? Who really knows the territory?” None of us is indispensable, but some of us have more experience and confidence in how to get the job done.

Nancy Pelosi Vows To ‘Avenge President Obama If It’s The Last Thing I Do’

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi promised to “avenge” former President Barack Obama in a bizarre fundraising email sent out on Monday afternoon.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign sent out a letter under Pelosi’s name that claimed she is going to make Republicans pay for confirming President Donald Trump’s nominee to replace Justice Anthony Kennedy.

Pelosi claimed that Republican ad-buys on behalf of Trump’s nominee will “eviscerate our chance to make Republicans pay for the Supreme Court seat they STOLE from President Obama.”

“But I’m determined to avenge President Obama if it’s the last thing I do,” she claimed, before asking supporters to click on a link to donate.

Pelosi’s detractors have argued for years that Democrats need an image overhaul by empowering newer members at the very top of the party. But they suffered a big setback when Rep. Joseph Crowley (D-N.Y.), thought by many to be Pelosi’s heir apparent, was unseated himself in an astonishing primary defeat earlier this year.

Crowley's downfall has left Pelosi critics scrambling in search of another challenger bearing the requisite combination of experience, gravitas, popularity — and not least, interest — to take on Pelosi, a political juggernaut who's led the party for the past 15 years.

Pelosi's Daughter: Mom Will "Cut Your Head Off And You Won't Even Know You're Bleeding"

Nancy Pelosi is apparently quite deadly according to her daughter.

Fresh on the heels of a gruesome ISIS beheading in Morocco, filmmaker Alexandra Pelosi told CNN that her mother, the 78-year-old House Minority Leader, possesses the ability to decapitate a person so efficiently that they have no idea they're even bleeding!

President Pelosi has fired warning shot, over any wayward Democrats heads, "Vote how she tells you, or you are Destroyed!" The Overthrow of the American Government has turned Hard. How any American or human for that matter, would want to live or try to live under Socialist Rule, which will happily get rid of their own , will happily do the same those who "Loveingly" follow. Genocide IS Good.!

‘This is not a day at the beach’: Pelosi tells moderate Dems to stop voting with GOP

House Democrats are divided over how to respond to Republican procedural attacks.

House Democrats held an emotional debate behind closed doors Thursday over how to stop losing embarrassing procedural battles with Republicans — a clash that exposed the divide between moderates and progressives.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) took a hard line at the caucus meeting, saying that being a member of Congress sometimes requires taking tough votes.

“This is not a day at the beach. This is the Congress of the United States,” Pelosi said, according to two sources.

Pelosi also said vulnerable Democrats who had the “courage” to vote against the Republican motions to recommit would become a higher priority for the party leadership and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.

And Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the superstar New York freshman lawmaker, suggested she would alert progressive activists when Democrats are voting with the GOP on these motions, said the sources.

In the end, Pelosi and other top Democrats didn’t agree to any rules change and will continue to study the issue. The motion to recommit offers the House minority one last shot at changing legislation before it receives a final floor vote. Typically, the motion is used to try to squeeze the majority party, but it rarely succeeds.

Pelosi Says House Dems Launching Investigations Into Trump Without Evidence of a Crime is Their “Constitutional Responsibility” (VIDEO)

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said in a press briefing Thursday that the massive investigations into President Trump launched by the House Democrats without any evidence crimes were committed is their “Constitutional responsibility” as oversight of the Executive branch.
“The House launched investigations on Trump — what kind of evidence does the House have right now on Trump to launch all these investigations on him and could this possibly be overreach?” a reporter asked Pelosi.

Pelosi interrupted the reporter, “No, this is our Constitutional responsibility to have oversight over the Executive branch.”

The House Speaker then invoked Stalin’s rule of “show me the man and I’ll find you the crime.”

Speaker Nancy Pelosi does not believe President Trump can be removed through impeachment — the only way to do it is to defeat him in 2020 by a margin so “big” he cannot challenge the legitimacy of a Democratic victory. That is something she worries about.

“We have to inoculate against that, we have to be prepared for that,” Ms. Pelosi said during an interview at the Capitol on Wednesday as she discussed her concern that Mr. Trump would not give up power voluntarily if he lost re-election by a slim margin next year.

Few people outside Ms. Pelosi’s inner circle were aware of how worried she was that Mr. Trump would try to stop the opposition party from taking control of the House unless the Democrats’ victory was emphatic enough to be indisputable. That view, fed by Mr. Trump’s repeated and unsubstantiated claims of Democratic voter fraud, is one of the reasons she says it is imperative not to play into the president’s hands, especially on impeachment.

Ms. Pelosi offered Democrats her “coldblooded” plan for decisively ridding themselves of Mr. Trump: Do not get dragged into a protracted impeachment bid that will ultimately get crushed in the Republican-controlled Senate, and do not risk alienating the moderate voters who flocked to the party in 2018 by drifting too far to the left. “Own the center left, own the mainstream,” Ms. Pelosi, 79, said.

“Our passions were for health care, bigger paychecks, cleaner government — a simple message,” Ms. Pelosi said of the 40-seat Democratic pickup last year. “We did not engage in some of the other exuberances that exist in our party” — a reference to some of the most ambitious plans advocated by the left wing of her party and some 2020 candidates, including “Medicare for all” and the Green New Deal, which she has declined to support.

Ms. Pelosi remains committed to avoiding impeachment, but it is clear that she is losing patience.
